Remember where, when and conditions that you caught them in. Over time you will begin to rely more on experience and less on gadgets to catch fish. For example, I rely a lot less on electronics than you. When I know depth and types of structure and bottom contours I know all I care to know. I can make a couple of pulls and know if there are active fish. I look for birds and especially shad breaking surface. But darn Brad I'm old and grew up fishing the old way. So what do I know. It was good to spend the day with you guys though. Hated I had to leave before you guys. I would have loved to gone and eat with you. I had to get back over two mountains and put the boat up by myself and wanted to get home before dark. I also had to take some guys on Weiss yesterday. We hit a hot stretch on the way end and I sent charlie and Daddy home with a big mess of fish. See you soon:fish
